I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 52
Just in the past few days, some transactions have occurred in the NBA one after another.

The first is the Cavaliers. They sent the team leader, James' "good brother" to the Celtics. This is to concentrate all resources on training James.

This time is even earlier than the real time and space.

It seems that James' poor performance against Liu He made the Cavaliers management and coaching staff anxious.

Then there's the Suns.

Suns boss Stephon Marbury was again in off-court trouble after being arrested for DUI.Coupled with the Suns' record of 3 wins and 15 starts, the Suns management finally had enough of Marbury and sent him to New York.

The other is the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers have had enough of Rasheed Wallace "The Roaring God" who often gets into foul trouble and want to change the team leader.

The Pistons immediately expressed their desire to get Rasheed Wallace.

But the Trail Blazers are not willing to send Rasheed Wallace to a strong team that already has the strength to compete for the championship. That is to create a strong opponent for themselves.

So the general manager of the Trail Blazers directly hung up on Joe Dumars.

……

Meanwhile, All-Star voting begins.

2003年12月12日，湖人队111：88大胜尼克斯队。

2003年12月13日，湖人队101：81大胜小牛队。

2003年12月19日，湖人队120：80大胜军心离乱的开拓者队。

On December 2003, 12, the Lakers beat the Suns 21:107.During the conflict between Barbosa and Fisher, Liu He successfully inserted and accumulated a conflict for himself.Seeing Liu He appearing, Barbosa ran away.

2003年12月23日，湖人队109：91大胜勇士队。

So far, the Lakers have achieved a record of 24 wins and 2 losses, leading the pack.

Next, it's Christmas Day.

This time, the Lakers' opponent is the Houston Rockets.

The other two games are Cavaliers vs Magic.

Mavericks vs Kings.

All three games are very interesting.

First up are the Mavericks and Kings.

These two teams are the top three teams in the league in offensive ability, second only to the Lakers.

The difference is that the Lakers are a super strong team with both offense and defense, while the Mavericks and Kings are offensive teams that forgo defense.

One is the most gorgeous Princeton system in the early 21st century.

One is the shooting brigade led by "mad scientist" Nelson Sr.

Jordan said: "Offense wins tickets, defense wins championships!"

It is conceivable that this game will definitely be an offensive battle, which is extremely beautiful.

Then there is the game between the Magic and the Cavaliers.

This is the worst game of the three games.

But it also has a lot to watch.

For the Magic, McGrady took the lead. He should be the most handsome player in the early 21st century. The white horse is McGrady, with sleepy eyes, catching the ball with one hand, pulling up jump shots, the fastest first step, various elegant dunks, and slender legs...

Whether it is strong or not is another matter, handsome is over.

On the Cavaliers side, the leader is naturally the No. [-] pick James.

After the "big brother" Ricky Davis was sent away, James' data ushered in another surge.This also made the Cleveland fans who had been dispersed by Liu He jump out again, causing trouble everywhere.

Cleveland native: "James has recently averaged close to 20 points per game, steadily surpassing Liu He, and is still the strongest rookie!"

Los Angeles: "22:3!"

James and Liu He scored only 3 points in the first game, while Liu He scored 22 points.

Cleveland: "..., James can grab 7 rebounds per game, far more than Liu He."

Los Angeles: "22:3!"

Cleveland native: "..., James averaged 7 assists per game, far exceeding Liu He."

Los Angeles: "22:3!"

克利夫兰人大怒：“22比3，22比3，除了22比3你们就不会说点别的？”

L.A.: "3:22?"

Cleveland Man: "..."

Fuck, trough, trough... Poof!

The Cleveland man was so angry that he spurted blood, spraying several kilograms like piercing his intestines. .

Finally, the game between the Rockets and the Lakers.

There are many things to watch in this game.

First of all, the Rockets have a record of 15 wins and 12 losses in the West. Although they are definitely not as good as the Lakers with 24 wins and 2 losses, they are not too weak. They can compete with the Lakers.

Secondly, in this era of withering centers, Yao Ming is regarded as the only successor to traditional centers, so every matchup between him and O'Neal has received great attention.Yao Sha duel, the collision of traditional centers.

Then there is the duel between Liu He and Yao Ming.There are already four Chinese players in the NBA, but both Dawang and Daba are almost unstoppable.Yao Ming and Liu He are both the team's starters, and they play a lot of time, which can make Chinese fans feel good.

In the end, it's a showdown between defenders. "Boss" Steve Francis and "Peter Pan" Kobe Bryant, the two starting guards of the Western Conference All-Stars, are both the type with the best style of play and the type of flying into the sky. Various actual dunks and difficult layups are commonplace and extremely popular.

Sure enough, David Stern will play. With these three games, this year's Christmas game will definitely be lively.

But before the Christmas battle begins, there is one more thing worth mentioning.

I still remember that in the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets, Liu He scored 30 plus points.

Steve Kerr posted a message on his personal social media before the game even ended: Charles, you win!Kenny, let's take the punishment together.

At the beginning, Barkley bet that Yao Ming would not score 20 points, because he did what he said and kissed the ass of the donkey. This kind of daring style made Barkley gain the approval of a large number of fans.

Cole is doing this now, with the same effect.

Soon, Barkley responded to Cole: "It's not good these days!"

Cole immediately asked: "Why? I can't wait!"

Barkley: "My donkey has loose stools."

Cole: "..."

Kissing the ass of a loose donkey, I don't know who can stand it, but Cole doesn't think he can stand it anyway.

So, the matter was delayed.

Until a few days ago, Buckley's donkey recovered from his illness and could kiss.

As a result, the director thought, Christmas is coming soon, so he might as well wait until the Christmas battle, and then punish him.

The league is also very cooperative. For the three Christmas games, Barkley, Smith, and Kerr will explain the Lakers game.

It's the perfect arrangement to kiss the donkey's ass first, and then explain the game.

On the day before the Christmas match, Liu He and Kobe were still the last two people who practiced extra.

After the training, the two returned to the locker room, ready to shower, change clothes and go home.

As soon as he entered the locker room, he found Payton sitting in his place.

"Gary, why aren't you home yet?"

Bryant asked.

Payton smiled: "My family is not in Los Angeles, and I am alone when I go home. Kobe, it's you, go back and be with Vanessa. As for Liu He, a bachelor, come with me tonight."

Kobe was taken aback for a moment, then reacted immediately.

Peyton waited in the locker room specially, naturally he had something to do.

He wanted to distract himself again, it seemed that he was looking for Liu He.

Thinking of this, Kobe stormed into the shower.

I am the boss of the Lakers. Payton doesn't look for himself when he has something to do, but he wants to look for Liu He. He doesn't take himself seriously.

snort!The little rookie's strength is not very good, but his communication skills are really strong.

But what's the use?
For players, strength is everything, and I will conquer everyone with strength.

As for what happened today, I'm not angry, I'm really not angry at all.

In the locker room, Liu He sat opposite Payton.

Payton said: "Little guy, Phil talked to Carl."

Liu He knew that it was probably the last sprain that sounded the alarm. Phil hoped that Ma Long would reduce his playing time so as to ensure his health.

So the result?

Peyton shook his head.

Obviously, it failed.

Liu He was a little helpless.

Peyton smiled, "Little guy, you're not that age yet, so it's hard for you to understand that the stronger a man is, the more he can't accept the fact that he's getting old."

Liu He listened carefully.

Payton then said: "I'm a little worried that this time Phil's talk not only didn't work, but also aroused Carl's rebellious psychology."

Liu He frowned, that was really too bad!

Everything has two sides, and so does the formation of giants.

Just look at the current Lakers team, the lineup is extremely gorgeous, and the record is also outstanding.

But under the gorgeous appearance, there are many problems hidden.

The boss battle between Kobe and O'Neal.

Malone is dissatisfied with the loss of the ball.

And Peyton seems indifferent, isn't there any dissatisfaction in his heart?

The mountain rain is about to come, it seems calm, once it erupts, it will be a disaster.

The Lakers team in real time and space failed because of various conflicts among the stars.

Phil Jackson is known as the head coach in the NBA who can adjust the relationship between stars, but he is powerless about these problems of the Lakers and can only try his best to maintain them.

"Gary, so you came to me because you hoped..."

Liu He asked.

Payton said: "In this team, you have a very good relationship with O'Neal and Kobe. Malone's attitude towards you has also changed recently. So, I hope you can do something to change this situation."

no……

"Gary, you think too highly of me!"

Liu He smiled wryly.

"I believe you!"

Peyton left the last sentence, got up and left.

A few minutes later, Kobe came back with a nose that wasn't a nose and a face that wasn't a face.

Seeing that Peyton was not there, Kobe immediately said in a strange manner: "Why, Gary didn't take you to have fun?"

Liu He smiled: "Gary's speed is too fast, he's not going to kindergarten, it's not suitable for me!"

Kobe is proud, good communication skills?It's not that Peyton abandoned him.

"You look pitiful, do you want to go to my house? I will reward you with a meal!"

"That's not good, is it? Forget it, since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly accept your invitation."

Liu He said with a playful smile.

Christmas in the United States is equivalent to the Spring Festival in China, and it is a very important day.

Lucy went home to reunite, and Liu He was really alone.

In this way, Liu He left with Kobe.

Of course, Liu He didn't come empty-handed either, he bought a large bouquet of flowers and gift boxes of various sizes from the mall along the way.

Looking at the flowers in Liu He's hand, Kobe was a little bit taken aback, but he forgot about it.Asshole rookie, it’s fine to compete with me for the favor of my teammates, but you still want to win the favor of Vanessa?
damn it!
At the door of Kobe's house, Vanessa was welcoming her husband, and was a little surprised to see Liu He.

Liu He sent flowers directly.

"Kobe said that the most beautiful flower should be given to the most beautiful person. The most beautiful flower is easy to find, but I only know one most beautiful person, so here I am!"

Vanessa immediately smiled like a flower, more beautiful than the flowers in her arms, and warmly entertained Liu He.

As a woman, who doesn't like sweet talk, that's all for boasting.

During the dinner, Liu He also talked and laughed happily with Vanessa, and Vanessa couldn't stop laughing, not to mention how happy she was.

And Kobe's face was getting darker and darker, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Vanessa secretly glanced at Kobe's expression, and deliberately moved her seat a little towards Liu He.

This move made Kobe explode even more.

Liu He understood in seconds that Vanessa was provoking Kobe and teaching this guy a lesson.

Liu He cooperated in various ways, and it seemed that the relationship between him and Vanessa became closer.

It wasn't until Kobe was about to show a murderous expression that Liu He got up to leave.

It is conceivable that tonight, Vanessa will definitely encounter Kobe's intensive artillery attack.But one is willing to fight, and the other is willing to suffer.

On the way home, Liu He thought about the question raised by Peyton, which was really troublesome.Phil can't do anything, what can he do?

Just then, the phone rang, and it was Lucy calling.

"dad……"

As soon as Lucy spoke, Liu He drew his sword directly.

……

The next morning, Liu He was the first to come to the Staples Center and enter the locker room.Then he took out a newspaper from his bag and placed it in O'Neill's place.

When flirting with Lucy last night, Liu He suddenly thought of this trick.

Before the conflict breaks out, I first cripple the conflict.Although it cannot be eradicated, it will last for a while.

After putting away the newspaper, Liu He changed into his training clothes as usual and started his morning exercise.

After a while, Kobe arrived second.Noticing the newspaper on O'Neill's place, he picked it up and looked at it. He was happy at first, but then became angry again.

Then, Peyton also came, also found the newspaper.Payton looked at the newspaper and gradually became angry.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers players arrived one by one, and they all read the newspaper intentionally or unconsciously.

After all, O'Neal's position is at the door of the locker room, the largest and most conspicuous one, and you can see it when you enter the door.

Some players feel angry.

Another part of the players felt scared and quickly put the newspaper back, pretending that they hadn't read it.

When the training was about to start, O'Neill arrived leisurely.The holiday is coming, and O'Neill is in a good mood.

But when he saw the newspaper, O'Neill was furious.

For a moment, the entire Lakers locker room was covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and the atmosphere was oppressive. The players lowered their heads and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

At this moment, Liu He finished his morning exercise and returned to the locker room dripping with sweat, "keenly" aware of something wrong in the locker room.

Liu He pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's going on, what happened?"

No one dared to speak, only Peyton handed the newspaper to Liu He.

Liu He was very familiar with the contents of this newspaper, but he still pretended not to have read it, and read it seriously.

After a while, Liu He was furious: "Damn it! This media is talking nonsense. It's insulting Shaq. I'm going to sue them and send them a lawyer's letter. I won't stop until I sue this media until it goes bankrupt!"

Liu He was so angry that he tore up the newspaper and was about to rush out.

Peyton, Fox, Grant and several veterans quickly grabbed Liu He.

"Dude, don't be impulsive!"

On the other hand, O'Neill looked at Liu He with a moved face: "Good brother!"

Unnoticed, it was a niche local newspaper in Houston.

The content of the newspaper is roughly: Yao Ming is already the best center in this league. Even if he is facing off against O'Neal, he will be [-]-[-], or even [-]-[-].Shaq is already a thing of the past in this league.And Yao Ming is the present and future of this league.

Immediately, a series of evidence was also listed.

For example, O'Neal's data has shrunk significantly this season.

For example, the OK combination was eliminated by the Spurs last season, and O'Neal's statistics in the game against the Spurs were much worse than Kobe's.

In short, the sharks are getting old, and the little Chinese giants have taken their place.

As for the local newspapers in Houston, it is reasonable to boast about the cornerstone of their own team, and it is not unreasonable to use some exaggeration.

But the only mistake was that this newspaper appeared in the Lakers locker room and appeared in front of O'Neal.

Payton immediately suggested: "Guys, something like this happened, we have to do something, let everyone know that underestimating Shaq will be the biggest mistake in their lives."

Kobe immediately agreed: "Count me in!"

It can be seen that the relationship between Kobe and O'Neal is very complicated.

On the one hand, the two people had a lot of trouble because of the competition for the ball.

Kobe, on the other hand, would be outraged that someone insulted O'Neal.Insulting O'Neal is an insult to the OK team and Kobe.

Malone joined immediately.

Everyone on the Lakers joined in with righteous indignation.

O'Neill was overwhelmed.

"Thank you guys! Give me all the balls tonight and I..."

Liu He stood up: "Shaq, this is not acceptable. You mean to take revenge by yourself? You forgot, we are brothers, we are a family, how could we watch you fight alone?"

Others responded one after another: "Yes, yes, we are a family, we are brothers, and we will fight together."

O'Neal is still a bit strange, I didn't say I want to fight alone, I just want more possessions.

But although what Liu He said was different, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.O'Neill felt something was wrong, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

In addition, O'Neill was the most moved when his brain was limped, and he couldn't tell the difference even more. He could only subconsciously say: "Okay, then let's fight together."

"fighting!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Outside the locker room, Phil Jackson looked at Old Winter with a dazed expression, not knowing what happened.

Old Winter laughed: "Phil, it doesn't matter what happened, what matters is...the Lakers locker room hasn't been so united in several years, which is a good thing!"
